The article is a surface-mount type light-emitting diode (LED) for illumination purpose. A light-emitting diode (LED) element is mounted on an upper surface of a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped substrate, and a reflecting frame disposed on the upper surface of the substrate includes an opening to accommodate the LED element. The LED element is surrounded by an inner surface of the reflecting frame at the opening and sealed with a light-transmitting resin filled in the opening of the reflecting frame.

Two terminals for electrical connection to a motherboard or an external substrate are provided on a bottom surface of the substrate at one end of the bottom surface.

The article is used as a light source for backlight units to illuminate liquid crystal displays and the like. 

The ornamental design for a light-emitting diode, as shown and described herein.
